By Basic Christian Community of Hawaii
Despite a world of conflict, uncertainty, and suffering, many are the blessings GOD gives to those who trust in HIS Name.
In this Jubilee Year of Hope, adult men and women are invited to radiate their love and joy for the LORD in this unique experience filled with a sense of peace and renewal that only a weekend retreat can provide. This dedicated time will allow them to explore and deepen their spiritual practices and strengthen their personal relationship with GOD.
Taking place in the cool hills of Kalihi Valley where the beauty of nature abounds, they will be offered a space for prayer, reflection, and connection with the teachings of the Catholic faith in a loving Christian community. The theme of this retreat is “Open the Eyes of My Heart.”
Located deep in the valley of the Koolau mountain range, Basic Christian Community of Hawaii (BCCH) offers a two-night retreat for men and women led by spiritual directors, the Very Reverend Msgr. Gary Secor of the Diocese of Honolulu, and Sr. Meristella Umdor, a Missionary Sister of Mary Help of Christians. Retreatants come to enjoy the natural beauty of the peaceful location, and the freedom from modern distractions. Since 1985, BCCH has welcomed guests to experience true Christian community, found in song, prayer, witness talks, educational and reflective experiences, and small faith-sharing groups. This retreat is ideal for anyone seeking to find peace this summer in expectant faith for a true relationship with our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
